A school principal ? You are one VERY busy lady. Hope this year to be a wonderful one - with not many headaches. Both my parents were teachers - one uncle was a high school principal and rest of family - coal miners, farmers, teachers, police, scientist, some that did top secret stuff. One mixed up kettle of fish - but family reunions can be hoot :)
Very glad he is home, sorry too, he is not headed for Japan. But their are two ladies I know of - that have served there and or their sailor was there ( Anti M and Blondie on the Japan site). Ask them some questions and they will get answers to you quickly.
Glad you enjoyed the pictures. Have to wait unti next year to get some more. I am beat. When along for the ride with the kids planning there wedding. Only thing I kown in writing - the date - Sept.25th of 2011. They contracted the sight- a local arbortium. So it will be in full bloom of Autumn flowers and colors for them. Now rest of planning is on hold - they will be moving into an apartment in month and half - and they HAVE to go through all their stuff. What to keep - not to keep and then PACK! With all that running around yesterday - I ready for them to alope!
Need to get moving Take care Havea good day Talks soon !

3 photos that came out the best of the Monarchs that hatched yesterday. These butterflies would fly off as soon as their wings dried. We had to watch carefully for them And the one on the floor - if i had not heard that voice in my head to look down - I would have stepped on him !

Hi :)
Yes, thank you - FINALLY those headaches left me. And teh weather is so nice - like a warm Autumn day here. No humidity - low air pressure. So I am beginning to beleive the headaches were connected to the weather. What a way to know weather is changing.
Othe rgossip - first of 11 Monarch Butterflies to hatch this arfternoon - a small male and around 2 PM he strongely flew away. Hubby found another Monarch egg - here we go again.
Havea wonderful evening and weekend.
PS Meeting Tessa' parents tomorrow. They are having us over for dinner. Will share detials later.

Good Morning
If he is just finishing school at GL - then he should be going to another school. And now all MN schooling is in SD, CA. Then after that - he would get his orders for a ship. Well, that is how it worked out for my son.
Hey what's new for everyone? I think next week some of our crysallis will be hatching. So far I have 9 Monarch Butterfly crysalis hanging from the clock shelf. Two more caterpillar still eating and an egg - that we all feel wil not hatch at all. It happens - a dud.
Mom is wanting to find a new lamp for the living room and if all goes well - I might have a me day. I could write in my journal and read. Regrettfully - older son is ill - he ate something that really didn't like him. So he is home in bed.
Ok - send gossip - my tank is low Havea good day too.

Wait - isn't there a C school for MN ? Or was that A School ? I did learn - there is no B School. Strange. Just like now - my son's ship is out on Fall Tour. I'm still in summer.
